Today we visited the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We took advantage of the opportunity for a personalized van tour to the bottom of the face of gigantic sculpture. We were able to walk out to where his finger eventually will be carved. It was an incredible experience in an incredible place. The vision of the artist and his family is truly inspirational. After we left there we went into Custer to get a few provisions including dark chocolate since our Schakolad supply has run out!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
